Rejoining

I was once a member in Australia - how do I rejoin?

You will need to fill in the Rejoin Application Form (PDF).

This form will need to be posted with payment to

The Membership Secretary
Australian Mensa Inc
Suite 12, 8-12 Stafford St
Midland WA 6056

We will need to have proof of your previous membership. For members who originally joined in the 80's or later, this is usually just a matter of checking our database. For members who joined earlier this may not be possible. Unless alternative proof can be provided, the rejoin application will not be accepted.

We occasionally get rejoin applications from people who were never members. These are always ultimately rejected but can waste time for officers and support staff.

I was/am a member elsewhere - how do I transfer to Australian membership?

You will need to fill in the International Transfer Form (PDF).

This form will need to be posted with payment to

The Membership Secretary
Australian Mensa Inc
Suite 12, 8-12 Stafford St
Midland WA 6056

If you are a current member elsewhere, any financial credit for the remaining portion of your current year's membership will be honoured. If you have lapsed in the other country, you will need to pay the subscription fee for the coming year.

By Mensa International rules, we must obtain direct confirmation from the overseas Mensa membership officer. This can take a while, but in the meantime you will be welcome to attend local events. Once your membership is confirmed and you then become a member of Australian Mensa, you will, of course enjoy all the benefits of membership.

In order to speed up the process email the Membership Secretary at memsec@mensa.org.au so that the confirmation procedure can be started even before your form arrives in the post.

Again we occasionally get transfer applications from people claiming overseas membership who are in fact not members. These too are always ultimately rejected but can waste time for officers and support staff both in Australia and overseas.
